Sick.
How our lines gel or don't gel is one of the most important factors in how Junk will do as a team this season. The reason that Junk's best ultimate came at regionals last year and the reason that Junk hung around in our game vs. Michigan was that our lines were really good at doing their assigned jobs. This is not to say that O-Line should only work on it's O-Face or the D-Line does't need to work on their throws, but just that coming together and getting to know all of the people on your line is vital. By the time we get to Sectionals, and even more so by Regionals, you should know where everyone on your line is going to be going at the same time that they do. Or at least almost as soon as they do. The point is, lines, along with jerseys, are one of the most exciting things about ultimate for me, because lines aren't about which line has better disc skills or is more athletic, but about being able to work together as one unit to accomplish our team goals.

Or some other corny shit.
Word.

Oh, also... SPRING BREAK!
